Head-to-head statistics Reims - Dunkerque
Stade Reims Team Overview
Reims are in their second season in Ligue 2 and are once again considered promotion candidates. A year ago, a direct return to the top flight fell through: they finished sixth. Reims lost just six times in 34 rounds, but drew as many as 14 matches. They missed out on fifth place and the play-offs by two points. As a result, Karel Geraerts was let go after the season, and in June Nicola Iousaï took charge. On the positive side, their unbeaten run stretches back to last season and now stands at eight matches. At home, Reims have gone unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 Ligue 2 matches.

Dunkerque Team Overview
Last season Dunkerque finished tenth, despite scoring 53 goals - the third-highest tally in Ligue 2. But the summer brought a reset. Four key players left the club: Bardeli, Essimi, Sasso and Sekongo, accounting for 27 goals and 15 assists between them. Albert Sanchez, however, stayed: the Spaniard is now in his second season at the club. But the main question is whether the trend will continue: in 7 of their last 8 Ligue 2 matches, Dunkerque scored at least twice.

Editor's Pick
Dunkerque's away matches consistently produce plenty of goals: in 6 of their last 7 in Ligue 2, there were more than two (combined). The reason lies in the defence: Dunkerque have conceded in 13 consecutive Ligue 2 matches, and in 12 on the road. This applies to both halves: in 8 of their last 9 away Ligue 2 matches they conceded before the break, and the same number after it. Dunkerque haven't forgotten how to score either: they have both scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 away Ligue 2 matches. The bet is total over 2.5. Predicted score - 2:1.
